.: Do Not Watch This ...:.

..unless you've an entire hour to dedicate to the entire video. I've mention this in a past blog entry and it very much affected my life then. However, I'd only seen a much abbreviated version of this presentation. Here it is the entirety. Thank you Dr. Kim for reminding me of this lecture....


[1:01:38]...President Cohen, when I told him I was going to do this talk, he said, please tell them about having fun, because that’s what I remember you for. And I said, I can do that, but it’s kind of like a fish talking about the importance of water. I mean I don’t know how to not have fun. I’m dying and I’m having fun. And I’m going to keep having fun every day I have left. Because there’s no other way to play it. So my next piece of advice is, you just have to decide if you’re a Tigger or an Eeyore. ... Never lose the childlike wonder. It’s just too important. It’s what drives us.
